is a wonderful teacher with extraordinary patience. She agreed to begin teaching my daughter piano lessons before Kindergarten, whereas" ...More most teachers I contacted refused to even consider beginning lessons so young. She motivates her students with recitals at Steinway on a beautiful grand piano, exciting music choices and lots of extra treats. She also recognized my daughter's vocal talent, and encouraged her to cultivate that talent with lessons and performances in elderly communities. My daughter has thoroughly enjoyed having

“

is a gifted teacher - she is patient and really made learning music fun for my son. Classes were always on time and she is understanding of schedule changes. In one years time, my son went from not knowing much about piano to reading music and playing a solo recital piece! ”

Have been using MusicPros'

for about a year and a half for adult piano lessons (myself), and have made better progress than I thought would be possible.
I decided to take up the piano in "mide-life", thinking the "old dog, new tricks" thing would hold me back.
Not so with the way Ms.

I recommend her without reservation.
Good stuff!”

First, I absolutely loved that I could make an appointment online.

's website was very informative and I was able to easily choose a day and time that worked well for me.

arrived on time and was very friendly. We had purchased a used piano for my daughter and didn't know much about it. He was ...More just as curious as we were about the instrument so as he familiarized himself with the piano he noted things about the model so he could share them with us. The piano needed a double tuning and was a little stubborn to tune but

was patient and took his time to get it right.
We were very impressed with his friendliness, his expertise and his interest in our piano. It sounds absolutely beautiful now and our daughter is thrilled. We will use him going forward for all of our piano tuning and repair needs.”

Ms

is a natural with the kids. Both do their practicing faithfully, as they don't want to disappoint.
Interestingly, even with the youngest, along with the reading of music and dynamics, some music theory is sprinkled in as appropriate.
That keeps the student complimented, and allows learning to go deep quickly...More />
We recommend Ms.

without reservation.”

I'm an adult student (

studio is located in her home and it's comfortable, has a waiting area for parents/friends, and her piano is tuned regularly. Over the past several years, I've gone from beginner player to intermediate and I can now play more complex classical pieces such as Bizet's

, Ellmenreich's Spinning Song and Lichner's Carnation. I had 2 other piano teachers before settling with

but I chose her because she is personable, great with adults (and the kids who have lessons before and after me) and is patient/encouraging. Even though I'm employed full-time and have limited time to practice, she has kept me engaged and motivated to keep with it and it has paid off. She also has convinced me to perform in her annual student piano recital, which is funny because I'm usually one of the only adults who plays with all the other kids of various ages. But I love it for the kids all are at various levels of learning and they clearly enjoy it, and the parents appreciate me performing in the recital to show their kids that you can learn something new at any age ;-) I highly recommend

to anyone who wants to learn in a professional and motivating environment. ”

I'm 40 years old and, though I have played several musical instruments formally and informally in my past, the last time I played orchestral or rock-n-roll instruments was 20 years ago. When I recently mentioned to my wife that I'd really like to learn to play guitar "right" sometime (having dabbled in teaching myself a long time ...More ago), she got lessons with

for my birthday.
I've been to around 10 lessons with

so far, and I have to say that I'm really impressed with his teaching skills. First off, he adapts very quickly to your skill level; he'll give you things to challenge you while not overwhelming you. Second, he doesn't only teach you

and musical theory without application like some music teachers do. Third, he listens to what *you* want to do. For example, I told him that I always wanted to learn finger picking, and mentioned a few songs I liked that used that technique; he learned them on his own and the began teaching them to me. Fourth, in a good balance between my second and third points, he will always sneak in some theory into your lessons but always teach you how the theory can help you in practical situations. For example, in my very first lesson he taught me the

minor pentatonic scale and showed me how I can use it to solo in any 12-bar blues song.
Finally, he's someone that makes you feel comfortable at all times -- someone you aren't afraid to screw up in front of, and someone you can bring questions to. I really enjoy our lessons, feel like I'm learning a lot, and plan to continue. When my kids are old enough to start learning an instrument, I'll send them to
